  TO ME!!!

  Not going to do much today. The fraternity is going to tour a snowboard manufacture so I am going to go with them to check it out. I need to back to the radio station to get my tennis shoes. I forgot them there yesterday and I really do need them! And then tomorrow night a bunch of us are going to an Irish Pub for some fun. So...Not a very exciting b-day. But I do have some very exciting news....

  

  Yep...I won the radio contest!!!!  It was very close but I won with a total body weight percentage loss of 14.04%! Pete, the only male in the contest and the guy who pretty much didn't want to lose to a bunch of women, lost a total of 13.89% so it was close. I think what is so cool for me...is that for the first time since 2001 I am under 150 pounds! I am offically 149 pounds! WOW!!!!  I am 9 pounds away from my goal weight. And to prove a point to everyone that it isn't over with yet...I hit the gym again last night. I went and did an hour of cardio on the elliptical and then did about 20 minutes of crunches and leg lifts. So...I still have 9 pounds to go.

  And what was really cool was that we got lifetime memberships to the gym that we used! WOW!!!!  That is HUGE!!! And to use a trainer (the ones we used during the contest) will only cost us $10 an hour! Man alive that is so cool!!!  So a bunch of ladies will be using them still because so many of us want to keep up this journey and they guys there at Spectrum will help us reach and maintain our goals! They have changed their website as well and now you all can keep track of us on their website. It is www.spectrumwellness.org. and if you go to the Biggest Winner's tab you can track all of our progress.

  Here are some pictures and videos of yesterday. There are a few more that I will be adding later once I get them off the net.

  It was down to just Pete and I. And that is DJ behind me.

  Here is our final video that we did yesterday. We came out in the place that we were. So Renee was in 9th place. and I was in 1st place.

  Here is the video of them announcing me winning the contest.

  So as soon as I find the news video and the other pictures that my friends took I will be posting them as well. Thanks again to you all for your support during this contest and my entire weight loss journey!!!  I love you all!

  Edit
